FiPy LTE (NB-IoT) modem problem



  • Hello there,
    I have a problem with communication over LTE (NB-IoT).
    My program is simple:
    Wake up, measure data over the Modbus, select operator:

    lte.send_at_cmd('AT+COPS=1,2,"23003"') # Vodafone Czech Republic
    

    attach to LTE network, send data to a server, detach and go to deep sleep.

    The thing is that in 30% of cases the program works without any problems and I'll get data to a server.
    In 20% of cases, the program is unable to go over the

    lte = LTE()
    

    It crashes with a message "Couldn't connect to Modem!", and in 50% of cases, it is unable to attach to the network at all. It is usually hanging even more than 15 minutes at command:

     while not lte.isattached() 
    

    without any change.

    My modem firmware version is UE6.0.0.0, LR6.0.0.0-41019 and FiPy version is FiPy with firmware version 1.18.2.r7.

    Since I know that the program can work flawlessly, I think that it might be a modem firmware issue.
    Do you have any ideas about what might be wrong?
